Will the water shut offs effect Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan's Term?

Pay your bill. It costs a lot of money to treat the water, pump it to your house, take the dirty water away from your house, and re-treat.

If I were a Detroit voter, I would look at what Duggan is doing as a prudent, necessary step.

Keep in mind that the pay-back options are very flexible.

Here's the 10/30/50 plan: http://www.dwsd.org/pages_n/homelinks.html#10_30_50


The plan allows you to pay 10% of your overdue bill, and then spreads the rest over a whopping 24-month period.

Let's say you owe $500. You need to pay $50 upfront to avoid the shutoff, and then the remaining $450 is spread into $18.75 a month payments over the next two years.

It's a very generous program and allows people to square up.

You are a fascist, Koch brothers shill. Unlimited, clean water should be free to every citizen in these United States. The Declaration of Independence doesn't say we have to cough up a fee for the "life" part. What's next from you assholes in Kochistan? A fee for breathable air!?!

Like I say to everyone in this forum. Water is a our birthright, not a constitutional right. Corporations can't make all products [[ especially filtered water free for everyone.) Existing technologies for public luxury fair costs money. If we make any product from cable TV to water free for everyone, then there is no need for barter. But in human nature people want to have what some have. Therefore we have to pay for luxury services even we have get clean filtered water from corporations.


Everyone who receive fascists products must pay their toll or cut off, plain and simple.

You pay to receive water services for you home long ago. Just pay your water bill. You using their technology that they pay their bills to receive.

For those who can't get clean water from the faucets, you can still get water from rain, lakes, rivers and oceans. If you know how to filter out the impurities. That is a real birthright of getting clean water as we ancestors did in the ancient days.
